Who We Are at SundMist Pastures Llamas
Our Story and New Path for 2024
SundMist Pastures Llamas have been actively involved in Parades, competing in Llama Shows, visiting schools and Senior's facilities, helping fund raisers, bringing uniqueness to parties and weddings and hiking trails for over 20 years. The three of us llamas in the herd are now "seniors" and no longer want to take road trips to all of these southern states' events. So, we're going to stay local and offer you the opportunity to have a nice walk with us. We will consider taking appointments to come to one of your special events. Also, our "senior" human boss, Vicki, has annually harvested our fiber and has crafted a variety of products that you can buy so that we get our hay, feed and health care.
A Storytelling Walk With Llamas In The Pines
SundMist Pastures' Llamas have teamed with In the Pines RV & Cabin Village to give you the opportunity to stroll through quiet pine forests and fresh air. ( https://www.inthepinesrv.com )
- Llamas are the perfect hiking partner. They have a low impact on the trails. You can tell them about all your stress, and they never repeat your confidentiality! The treks are about 2 miles long wandering over level natural ground and leading to Mills Creek. We take a water break about halfway beside a pond hidden in the pine forest. This provides a perfect spot for a picnic or pictures with your llama. (Feel free to bring your own snack for consumption during the trek or afterward.)
- Strolls last about 45 minutes, but we're in no rush. All individuals going on a Storytelling Stroll with Llamas in The Pines must have a reservation.
- Cost is $35 per person. Children 7-12 ($25/child) must be holding a separate lead with a responsible adult with up to 5 leads on a single llama. Infants, strollers or baby sling are not allowed under insurance guidance on the llama walk.
- While llamas are members of the camel family, unlike the camel, their backbone structure will not support the weight of a person. So, when you come trek with us, please plan on walking. Although this is easy with no elevation changes and a wide, perfectly groomed and solid trail, you must be able to confidently walk over uneven ground and a distance of about 3 miles.
- Each of the Sundmist Pasture llamas are professionally trained and highly socialized. Each of the llamas is certified by the Pack Llama Trial Association as either Basic or Advanced Pack Llamas. They are experienced hiking partners and are safe to be around so long as you follow your guide’s instructions.
Our Values
At SundMist Pastures Llamas, we believe in integrity, safety, and teamwork. We strive to create a positive experience and show you how awesome llamas can be.
